This Year's Girl - Arc Significance

Arc Significance

  • In a dream, Buffy and Faith make a bed; Faith says "Little sister is coming," foreshadowing the arrival of Dawn at the beginning of the next season. This is the second reference of Faith to Dawn's arrival. In third season finale episode, in a dream, Faith says, to Buffy, "Little Miss Muffet counting down from 7-3-0." 730 is the number of days until the end of Season 5, when Buffy will die again.
  • The post-mortem video Faith receives from The Mayor is particularly interesting because The Mayor expresses serious doubts about his ascension plans being successful. He also encourages Faith to 'go out with a bang'- perhaps mirroring his own thought process prior to his ascension.

Famous quotes containing the words arc and/or significance:

    You say that you are my judge; I do not know if you are; but take good heed not to judge me ill, because you would put yourself in great peril.
    —Joan Of Arc (c.1412–1431)

    For a parent, it’s hard to recognize the significance of your work when you’re immersed in the mundane details. Few of us, as we run the bath water or spread the peanut butter on the bread, proclaim proudly, “I’m making my contribution to the future of the planet.” But with the exception of global hunger, few jobs in the world of paychecks and promotions compare in significance to the job of parent.
    Joyce Maynard (20th century)
